Too true (and it does get tiresome). But what fascinates *me* is that  
it is often recycled, and has to be denounced each time. That's the  
interesting puzzle.

It's as if no education is taking place, and new IT pundits are rising  
to the surface with no knowledge or understanding of their craft, or  
the history of IT, or what has been said before.

Perhaps this reflects that we are all awash with information, and that  
it will not be long before we decide to commit information to our  
brain cells, and not to our hard disks.

I was listening to a radio program abut the cost of committing data to  
magnetic disks (or any other synthetic medium), and that the cost of  
storing data is so great that it will not be long before we take  
active steps to reduce the information held, and not increase it  
(because there is little value in retaining large chunks of  
information that has no relevance or meaning).
